Redarc Tow Pro

Overview

The REDARC Tow‑Pro is a high-performance electronic brake controller for caravans, trailers, and camper trailers, providing reliable, condition-aware braking whether you’re on-road or off-road

Key Features

  • Tow‑bar mounted design - The main unit installs securely under the vehicle, eliminating the need for dash modifications. The USB-powered remote head is compact and adhesive-mounted in-cabin for clean aesthetics and easy access

  • Dual braking modes - Everyday Mode: Proportional braking that senses vehicle deceleration and applies trailer brakes accordingly, ideal for highways and sealed roads.

  • Manual Off‑road Mode: User-controlled braking for steep descents and low-speed terrain like sand or gravel

  • Class-leading 6-axis motion sensor - Reduces lag and delivers ultra-smooth braking performance across conditions

  • SwayStop Plus™ - One-touch trailer sway correction applies trailer brakes until motion stabilises, helping you keep control with both hands on the wheel

  • Smart UI & app control - The USB remote head features a dimmable LED bar for real-time gain feedback and brake force, adjustable via plus/minus buttons. Bluetooth app access lets you monitor settings, run diagnostics, and update firmware

Durability & Installation

  • Rugged construction - Housed within an ultrasonic-welded, moisture-controlled enclosure to resist water, dust, gravel, and debris, built for Australia’s harsh touring conditions
  • Fast, tidy install - Reduces install time by up to 50% compared to older brake controller models thanks to plug-and-play wiring, no dash cutting, and adhesive mounting of controls
